Xiao Yuhan was worried about the situation outside, but Bai Yao wouldn't let go no matter what. He found it a bit strange. It was normal for Bai Yao to be a little willful on ordinary days, but she wouldn't cause any trouble at crucial moments.
"Yao'er, stop fooling around!"
Suddenly, Bai Yao leaned forward and kissed Xiao Yuhan's lips. At that moment, Xiao Yuhan was stunned, his mind in turmoil.
He forcefully pushed Bai Yao away, and then everything went black before his eyes. He almost lost his balance, and only then did he realize that something was wrong. Bai Yao's spiritual power was taking advantage of his confused state of mind to shake his soul.
At this moment, Bai Yao's face curled into a cold smile, "Xiao Yuhan, I didn't expect that. Just now, I saw you caring so much about this little girl in the illusion. I didn't expect that you would be so easily disturbed by your Dao heart. Hehehe... You actually fell in love with your own disciple. Aren't you a righteous person?"
Looking at Bai Yao's transformation, Xiao Yuhan realized that he had not escaped the illusion at all. How could a little girl like Bai Yao possibly break free from an illusion that could trap him?
Xiao Yuhan once again formed a sword with his fingers together, and a sword aura attacked "Bai Yao". However, he suddenly realized that even in the illusion, he could not use his spiritual power normally.
It seems my guess was right. This person in front of me shouldn't have been able to attack me so easily at first. So he used the illusion to lower my guard again, then used Bai Yao to distract me before making his move. It was a despicable tactic.
Xiao Yuhan stopped in his tracks, his expression growing increasingly grim. "Who exactly are you?!"
"Me? Sigh... Anyway, you've already fallen for it, so I'll just tell you, my name is Lin Xiao."
After saying that, "Bai Yao" gently raised her hand, and countless chaotic spiritual energies began to surge around her and attack Xiao Yuhan.
Xiao Yuhan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes as the eerie spiritual power began to erode his soul. A sense of powerlessness, originating from the depths of his soul, surged forth. He wanted to resist, but found himself utterly powerless to fight back against this person's methods.
From the moment he arrived in Hanfeng City in the Northern Territory, Xiao Yuhan had considered many possibilities. He knew he might encounter all sorts of different enemies, but he never expected that with his current strength, he would still be so easily defeated.
At this moment, he no longer had the mind to think about what methods the person in front of him had used. He began to feel fear; this feeling of being controlled by others was very unpleasant.
Xiao Yuhan's consciousness began to slowly fade. He hadn't felt death so closely in a long time. The last time he had such a feeling was in the Blood Pool in the Southern Frontier.
In the past, he had always managed to escape danger, but this time, he was completely helpless.
Gradually, he felt as if he were enveloped in endless darkness. "Could this be... the feeling of death?"
Suddenly, he heard his junior sister's anxious shouts and Bai Yao's choked voice. Xiao Yuhan was startled.
"System prompt: Using third-party system privileges to protect the host's soul!"
Xiao Yuhan suddenly returned to reality. Looking at the expressions of his junior sister and Bai Yao, he felt that he had returned, but he was also somewhat uneasy.
To confirm whether he was in an illusion, he asked again, "System, what's going on?"
"The system replied that you have fallen under the spell of Illusion. This is not a simple illusion, so you have fallen for it. Someone is trying to break down your psychological defenses by constantly overlapping illusions. The other party should be a master of Illusion."
Xiao Yuhan's face was grim as he said, "He managed to use his methods against me so silently, and you still couldn't detect his whereabouts?"
"System detection confirmed that no enemy activity was detected."
Xiao Yuhan's face grew increasingly grim. Although his junior sister and Bai Yao were looking at him with concern, he had no mind to explain. Wiping away the blood from his mouth and nose, he realized that he had suffered serious internal injuries. Xiao Yuhan tried to mobilize his spiritual power and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was in the real world.
Junior Sister Ling'er frowned and asked worriedly, "Senior Brother, what exactly happened?"
Xiao Yuhan shook his head. "I was ambushed. The person called himself Lin Yuan, and his methods were very strange. His strength should be above mine."
"System notification: The enemy's methods are applied to the soul. The host's combat ability may reach the level of a top expert in the Dao Integration Realm, but the actual realm is only the ninth level of the Void Return Realm. It can be confirmed that the opponent's strength has reached the Dao Integration Realm."
Xiao Yuhan's expression grew increasingly grim. There were already few experts at the Dao Integration Realm in the world, and to encounter another one upon arriving in the Northern Territory only made him more uneasy.
"System, I wanted to ask you this last time when Senior Brother Liu Jiantang achieved Dao: why is it that no one in this world could achieve Dao before, but recently we often see experts in the Dao Integration Realm? For example, Miao Xiaodie and Senior Brother Liu Jiantang. Although they have great talent, they have never taken this step for so many years. How come they were able to take this step suddenly recently?"
"After system detection, this case is a case of spiritual energy recirculation, which weakens the suppression of the laws."
Xiao Yuhan was puzzled. "What does this mean?"
"In fact, this world should have always been like this. The nine realms after reaching the Dao are called the Nine Attainments, which is to seek the Heavenly Dao. The nine realms after reaching the Great Ascension are called the Nine Abandonments, which is to sever ties with the mortal world. However, due to some special reasons, this world has changed."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhan was somewhat surprised, "Then what is the reason for the changes in the world?"
"System response: Human error."
"Man-made?! What kind of person has such power? To be able to change the laws of this world? Could it be 'it'?"
"The system replied, it's not that, but it's related to it. There are some things the system can't tell you. As one of the Heavenly Daos, the system is also limited by the Heavenly Dao, so the system can't answer many of the questions you asked before."
